You are quite welcome Bourbon Dave! Charter 101 is a hard bourbon not to like. Plenty of proof; flavor, and finish. Easy to drink, maybe a bit too easy. Easy on the pocketbook when compaired to Knob Creek or Wild Turkey 101. Very simular in price with Old Grand Dad Bottled-In-Bond 100 proof, or Elijah Craig 12 year old 94 proof. In fact that would make a fine three way blind shoot out. High rye; mid rye, and low rye. I may have to do that when Independent comes for a visit next week-end.

Bunghole,Enjoying a pour of it right now. I really like it compared to other BT products like Buffalo Trace bourbon. Love AAA 10yr as well. C101 has a little more fruit to it than BT and not as dry as AAA. I get it for about $15 here in Lexington, KY!

I recently picked up a bottle of this and was surprised at what I found in the bottle. This is one of the sweeter bourbons I've had in recent memory and then the slight heat and spice on the finish rounded out the experience. I like it and will probably get more. I vatted 50/50 the Charter and AAA 10 year and found the extra age of the AAA really complimented the higher proof of the Charter.

I vatted those two because they are both a rye mashbill and I didn't want to deviate from that. I simply wanted to up the proof on the AAA and increase the age on the Charter. Together, it was a very decent pour.
